Document Summary

Only unhappiness can come from working against divine plan. Avoid desire for political power but if it comes to you, accept it. Do not be attached to your position - it may change. Do not seek wealth but if it comes to you accept it. Do not seek poverty but if it comes accept. Do not seek health or sickness : accept it if it comes. It is a just world - gods have a plan. People who disobey plan will be punished or be unhappy.
